Against Heresies continues, as St. Irenaeus continues his defense of the body, and bodily resurrection, and salvation of the whole person. He points out that Jesus’ resurrection of Lazarus and others proves that bodily resurrection can and will occur. Also, he points out that if the flesh weren’t going be saved, there’d be no point in Jesus becoming flesh and there’d also be no reason for him to die or for us to have been saved by him.
(Since doubting the resurrection of the body and life everlasting is popular just now, these chapters are bound to come in handy.)
20:18.
